A push only lasts a few seconds,then it disappears and there is no indication of a successful transfer, so a delete would happen prematurely.

Right - But if you dont make the test for success revolve around the "push" event and instead let the test be its own entity, comparing the file on the TiVo to see if the file size and meta information match what is currently on the PC (which would confirm a successful push) and then deleteing related files off of the PC?

File size matching is not feasible. For mpeg2 the file format as stored on the TiVo is in a different format than when transferred via TTG so file sizes never match (it's always a little larger on the TiVo and the same applies to returning mpeg2 files to the TiVo). I think for H.264 they do match. The best place for post-push actions is in pyTivo since it knows when a successful push completes since it's the one serving up the file.

I realize this is not the comskip forum but I recently started using the FILES tab in kmttg_v0p8q. I have a large library of S3 and DTV files that were converted from .TY to .TS files by either S3tots or tytompg . I am trying to use KMTTG for qsfix, adscan, and adcut of the resulting .ts files files. The comskip website claims to support TS files, but for some reason comskip fails in the KMTTG process for the TS files I have tried with no vprj files being produced. Just curious if anyone has had this issue, and if there is a known fix, or perhaps I am doing something wrong.

Not exactly. If you were to look at the video file just as it was started its push, on the tivo, (press info or enter), you would see it shows the full file size even though the transfer was just started. So, a pushed 6gb file just started transferring, will show the 6gb even though it only received a few 100 megs.

You can probably do it using the "custom command" setting in kmttg.

I think he wants to do it automatically, not manually.

The reason I want to add the line of text, automatically, is I just found out (everyone else probably knew this) that if you add the line of text "image : folder.jpg" to your metadata.txt file, then poster art in your folder will show up in stream baby. It would be great if I could do this automatically for each .txt file kmttg creates.

I've been using KMTTG for a while now, mostly with 480i Stereo stuff. This week I tried it with some 1080i 5.1 audio stuff and I noticed a popping sound in the audio every once in a while. I've spent some time today trying to isolate it and it looks like it is in the encoding step (for my iPod touch). Here's the command line from my encoding file:

Quick question - I cancelled my tivo service and didn't think they would close it next day and I would like to move some shows off of it. Looks like once acct is closed the MAK is gone so kmtgg won't connect. Is there any other way to get my shows off of it. I know I can watch them still but I was looking to move a few more off of it.

Has anyone been having issues downloading shows with version 0p8q? I just updated from 0p8l and everything was able to download properly there. I updated and see the following behavior:

1) I am able to get TV listings to see what is on my Tivo
2) I almost immediately get download errors and retries when downloading shows from a Premier Elite
3) I get downloads to start but then fail when downloading from a TivoHD. It appears as though the web server on the Tivo gave download errors which kmttg interpreted as a complete download but really was a html page containing HTTP errors
4) downloads work from a Series 2 box

I reverted back to my 0p8l install and everything resumed working. I was in a bit of a hurry to get stuff working and it didn't occur to me to save off the log file before reverting.

I upgrade by simply unzipping the new version and copying everything on top of my existing install.
